Posen takes on state ranked teams
Both the Viking boys’ and girls’ teams will be tested in their first outings of the new year against state ranked opponents.

Momrik said none of Arenac’s first six opponents could make outside shots against them. Following the early season skirmish for first, the Vikings are at Hale Friday, January 9.

Santa has been good to them. Hopefully, Santa will be good to us the rest of the year. We have a couple of tough games back-to-back.”
After the Fairview contest, the Vikes host Hale next Thursday (January 8). Shane Hentkowski has been the leading scorer with 19 points per game average. Tina Mulka has lead the girls’ offense with 12 points per game.
